The Green Mile
Titanic
Wizard od oz - when dorothy goes back home

Gets me every time; especially now I have a daughter.


I remember going to see The Deer Hunter when it first came out, and being surrounded by people in tears at the end. I was unmoved, though it is undeniably a very powerful film.

Schindlers list - at the end when the survivors place stones on his gravestone

Ghost ... Demi Moore / Patrick Swayze
Good choice - demi certainly knew how to cry in that one.

Just remembered the Colour Purple - when the sisters get reunited at the end.

Saving Private Ryan

One of the best and most powerful films ever made, the end always gets me when Private Ryan is standing over Captain John Millers (Tom Hanks) grave as an old man and Ryan turns to his family and asks if he has been a good man.

Does nothing to me, but Mrs hay-char is reduced to jelly every time she sees Emma Thompson crying (when she discovers her husband has a bit on the side) in Love Actually.

It's an incredibly powerful film - the first time I saw it it left me literally sobbing at the ending
